KLOR is 34 keys split columnar staggered keyboard made by GEIST. I built it with Nice!Nano and without an OLED screen. Been regularly taking it with me to the office.
How’s the other side look? Seems like this would be 36 key?
Yep, that's correct! That's just one half of it so it's indeed a 36 key keyboard - sorry for any confusions :)
I didn’t know it came in a 36 key variant. That’s pretty interesting!
Geist's KLOR might still be the best MX split on the market. Has everything one could wish for.
I just worked out that a rotary controller can be mapped onto a mouse scroll wheel, which suddenly makes a lot of sense. I've been sitting here thinking "why would I want a volume knob? Why would I want two?" Is there anything else I am missing about rotary controllers?
Hehe, yeah you can map it to different things. I like to use it for ctrl+left and ctrl+right to quickly jump back and forth between words and also ctrl+pg up and ctrl+pg dn to quickly navigate between browser tabs.
My mapping is encoder: scroll wheel ctrl+encoder: horizontal scroll layer shift+encoder: switch desktops
Is this… half of the keyboard? Or do you have a mode switch or something so you type the mirrored key? What kind of WPM can you get? It’s super cool, it hasn’t occurred to me that you could have a one handed keyboard
Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
